[Year 12 SofDev] Software Development Newbie Questions

[Robert Hallworth]

Hi Tanya

The only textbook is Adrian Janson’s
http://adrianjansonpublishing.com.au/coursecart/viewitem/id,4

The DLTV has a resource kit
https://dltv.vic.edu.au/VCE-Resource-Kit

TSSM has some too. Its okayish IMHO but still has some old course info which is not relevant.

The SAT is 2 x SAC in time length and 30% of the marks (10% for each of the other two SACs and 50% for exam)
Yes the problem solved by each student should be unique but you provide guidelines as to the expectations to satisfy the criteria – VCAA publishes these annually but this years should be very similar to 2019



Kind Regards

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] Software Development Newbie Questions

Hi all,

I've been asked to teach VCE Software Development next year.  It hasn't been taught prior at this school so there are no resources.  Until now I have been teaching VCE mathematics.

I would love some help on where to begin and I also have some questions.
Which textbook do people use?
Which programming language do you recommend?
Is the SAT a project each student chooses the topic for?  I've never done a SAT before and it sounds like it is different to a SAC in that it is not written by the teacher?

Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
